The Solar System (and other projects) 2008
Jogging past the Sun, part of the Melbourne Solar System
I’m running through my travel lists for 2008, we started with 10 interesting hotels, moved on to music highlights and then the views out the window from my favourite flights. Next it was cars & drives, museums, galleries & exhibitions, photographs, books, other transport and movies. Today I'm going to look at some other activities. Maureen and I sold a majority interest in Lonely Planet to BBC-Worldwide in late 2008, we’re still travelling a lot, we’re still working with Lonely Planet (I’ll be working on some new LP-TV documentaries in 2009), but we also have the Planet Wheeler Foundation to keep us busy. Read on to find more about what Planet Wheeler has done in 2008 including my favourite project of the year, the Melbourne Solar System.
